"Den sjoveste billedbog jeg længe har læst! Både humor og pointe går lige ind hos læsere fra ca. 4 år og op ... Jon Klassen er en ener på billedbogsscenen. Han er en mester i underspillet humor." Bo Knudsen, DanskBiblioteksCenter»Det er ikke min hat. Jeg har lige stjålet den. / Jeg stjal den fra en stor fisk. / Mens den sov. / Og den vågner sikkert først om lang tid.«Sådan lyder i al sin enkelhed starten på Jon Klassens plaskende thriller om en lille tyvagtig fisk (og vi kan da godt røbe, at den store fisk vågner lige om lidt).

Otilla er flygtet og løber nu dødtræt igennem sneen. I en øde lysning ligger et tilsyneladende forladt hus, måske hendes redning. Hun bliver budt indenfor af en meget beleven og høflig vært – et kranie. Imidlertid er kraniet også bange og på flugt hver eneste nat … Kan modige Otilla redde dem begge?Jon Klassen er kendt for sin karakteristiske skæve humor og uforlignelige evne til at tegne udtryksfulde øjne. I Kraniet tager han en drejning mod det spøgelsesagtige, gennemsyret af skygger og subtilt vid og skabt som et finkalibreret monokromatisk kunstværk. Alt sammen fordi Klassen huskede et tyrolsk folkeeventyr forkert. Eller rettere – på sin helt egen rigtige måde.

"Jon Klassen's signature wry humor takes a turn for the ghostly in this thrilling retelling of a traditional Tyrolean folktale. In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill, lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both? Steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit--with rich, monochromatic artwork and an illuminating author's note--The Skull is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding." --

"Here comes The Rock from the Sky, a hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there's something off somewhere, but you just can't put your finger on it."--
